Portrait Jewelry was a favorite of our ancestors
and their skills and love for the art were passed down for generations. ![]() Although similar in design, each one became a one of a kind work of art. Also See Mourning Jewelry |
Hand painting was of the finest and was done on porcelain, ivory and other materials. For those not so artistically inclined,(or later for mass production) lithography was applied to the base and then "hand touched" or accented by another. One famous designer of such lithography
was "Fraggonard". Factories in Limoges, France supplied porcelain
blanks and lithographies |
